With the help of the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF)Morris: A Life With Bells On will be making its first (and hopefully not only, but we don't know yet) appearance in the U.S. on Saturday May 23 at 11:00 AM and Sunday May 24th at 7:00 PM. A strong showing here will help it get a U.S. distributor, which it needs in order to be shown in other cities.

We are asking those close or wish to travel to consider coming to Seattle for Memorial Day weekend. Bring your kit! Dance at the premiere! We are planning a mass dance-out on Saturday after the screening at 12:30 or so. WE WANT TO GET AS MANY DANCERS IN KIT AS POSSIBLE FOR THE PRESS AND TO HYPE THE FILM. The film will be screened in the same venue as the NW Folklife Festival www.nwfolklife.org which conveniently also happens Memorial Day weekend. We are hoping to make its U.S. opening a media-covered event and your participation will make that possible.

BREAKING NEWS: Chaz Oldham will be in attendance to whip up support for the film. He is the producer/writer and star of the film.
